Given it is in limited release even in Korea, I don't know how you can make that assumption. Keep in mind even if raw materials are available, the contract/subcontract manufacturers also add limitations to supply.Agree 100%. There is no way this is a supply chain issue. It is a passive adapter made up of some pieces of injection molded plastics and a few copper conductors. Not really rocket science to manufacture or need any electronics that may be in short supply. There is definitely something else going on.
And for the US case, it's not only the adapter, it's also the CCS chip in the car, which we know that there is a supply issue (that's why there was a batch of recent cars that did not support them in the first place!). It would be a disaster if Tesla releases this in the US without a huge supply of CCS chips (given they not only have to retrofit the recent batch that was missing the chips, they also have to retrofit older ones). If you think the current hand wringing is bad even before official release in the US, wait until that happens.
